Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3 ½ cups milk
1 (8 ounce) package sharp white Cheddar cheese (such as Cracker Barrel), shredded
½ (8 ounce) package processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
1 cup bread crumbs, or as needed
1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Stir in flour, salt, and dry mustard and mix well. Return to heat; pour in milk, stirring constantly until mixture is simmering, thick, and smooth. Add white Cheddar cheese and processed cheese; stir occasionally until melted.
  • Pour cooked macaroni into a large baking dish, followed by sauce. Stir to combine. Top with bread crumbs. Sprinkle with paprika.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are golden brown and sauce is bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.
